Welcome to Gershon’s!

A Capital Region landmark for more than 60 years!

Gershon’s Deli has long been a favorite lunch spot on Union Street, celebrated for its legendary pastrami and old-world deli goodness. We’re honored to have been voted again as a winner in the 2025 “Best of the Best” awards by The Daily Gazette - proof that our community still loves what we serve!

We offer an extensive menu filled with traditional favorites - think hot pastrami, corned beef, chopped liver, generous sandwiches and triple-deckers, grilled chicken and burgers, plus fresh daily homemade soups and salads. Don’t skip our signature desserts either: cheesecakes, bobkas, and NYC-style rugelach that are dessert lovers’ dreams.

Our renowned catering service brings the same outstanding quality and care to businesses and organizations across the area — from civic and religious events to corporate functions and charitable gatherings. We’re also proud to serve generations of families at Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, anniversaries, showers, birthdays, and other special occasions.

Whether you’re meeting friends for lunch, hosting a business event, or celebrating with family, let Gershon’s Deli & Catering make every plate, every platter - and every moment - delicious.
